Hi,
How are you? I am so sorry to hear about your relative's diagnosis. The treatment of cirrhosis depends on multiple factors including the cause of cirrhosis (alcohol, hepatitis, etc) the age of the patient, his physical fitness and if he is suffering from any symptoms due to the cirrhosis. If the patient does not have any symptoms or is only mildly symptomatic, then he will treated with medications only to control the symptoms and prevent any complications. But if his symptoms are severe or not being controlled with medications, then the best option will be to proceed with a liver transplantation.
Please do let me know where your place of residence is so i can guide you to the nearest speciality center to get evaluated.
Hope this helped and please do not hesitate to contact me for any further details - rxsuresh@gmail.com
